God's love

God's love is a beautiful thing.

There is one very big truth about Gods love that I want to share with you today. One that I have forgotten for far to long, one the my Saviour has been telling me to open my eyes to lately.

Love is a choice!

Did God have oshy moshy feelings for us?

No!

He chose to love us!

He chose to send His son to die for us. 

Even as Jesus begged His Father to take this cup if bitterness from Him as He wept in the garden before His death. He choose to love us. Love those disciples who slept during His greatest hour of need. He could have gone...

Forget it!

You sleep when I need you?

You think I will still have feelings when you don't even care?

What's the point of dying for someone who doesn't even care!

Yet NO!

He died because love isn't a mushy feeling. It's an act of the will.

As one beautifully put it...

Biblical love is the act of the will

Accompanied by emotion

That leads to action on behalf of its object!

In an act of the will Jesus died for us.

PRAISE THE LORD...

THAT GOD CHOOSE TO LOVE US!

We think of the times of when it says in the Bible

 "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

Matthew 22:37b

We say, see it says heart. 

Yes that is what it says in English, yet in Hebrew the word heart roughly means will.

The heart is just an organ it has no feeling. The will on the other hand is something we control.

So let us as, we continue through this life remember that love is a choice.

Like the way God choose to love us dispite our sinfullness 

How our parents love us, even when we drive them mad.

The way a couple choose to love the child they adopted even when they fight back.

The way a little child tends their worms in the jar on the porch.

Let us choose to love!
